CrossFire: Legion is a real-time strategy game set in a science fiction universe, created for the popular FPS series called CrossFire. The game is the result of cooperation between Smilegate and Blackbird Interactive studio, whose portfolio includes the warmly welcomed Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. It was released by Prime Matter.

Mechanics

In CrossFire: Legion the action was shown from the top-down view. The gameplay is focused on building bases, constructing fortifications and production buildings as well as on fielding large armies and fighting dynamic battles. We send tanks, mechs and fighters to the battle, as well as soldiers equipped with futuristic weapons and gadgets such as jetpacks. During the battles we have to not only skillfully use the capabilities of individual units, but also make good use of special combat abilities that the authors give us at our disposal.

COGconnected: 68 / 100 by Mark Steighner

Crossfire: Legion is an exercise in nostalgia, bringing to mind real time strategy games back when the genre was at its most popular. Its mechanics are comfortably familiar, but that might also be a disappointment to gamers looking for innovation or depth. Skirmishes limited to online-only play, some bugs left over from early access and a forgettable campaign weigh against Crossfire: Legion’s basically engaging RTS gameplay and graphics. Diehard fans of the genre will absolutely appreciate the game’s classic feel, but will be left wanting more.

Game Rant: 3 / 5 by Josef Keppler

Crossfire: Legion is a competent but uninspired return to the Command and Conquer era of games that fails to live up to that legacy.

Full Review

FingerGuns: 6 / 10 by Miles Thompson

Crossfire: Legion is an accessible RTS with a decent foundation to become a great game, but it’s held back by a lackluster campaign, poor pathfinding and shallow strategic systems. A stellar voice cast, excellent graphical performance and primitively fun gameplay can carry you quite a way, but not enough to reach the best of the genre. Hopefully, there’s more to come.
